The City s mod factor was lowered. This is a preliminary cost estimate, once a payroll audit is completed later this summer the premium will be adjusted. Kooiker voiced his appreciation for Brown s assistance in filing claims and overall customer service. Motion by Miller, seconded by Brown, approved the insurance renewal with I.M.W.C.A. for worker s compensation coverage. Roll call was: AYES: All. NAYES: None. Mosquito Fogging Chris Hansen from Triple C Pest Control, Quimby IA, reported on his company s method of spraying for mosquitos and distributed MSDS sheets. Beehives will not be affected by the spraying. He anticipates spraying on Sunday or Monday nights between 9:30 and midnight. He has contracts with a lot of towns and more are signing up each year so it must be working okay. The mosquito fog kills the mosquito instantly and does not leave a residue. The cost to spray the entire town is estimated to be $5,200 per month assuming four weekly sprays ($1,300 a spray.) Johnson asked if just the parks could be sprayed and what the cost would be. Chris replied that

6 he would have to look at it and could have a quote by the end of the week. If the council gives approval at the June 26 th meeting, spraying would not start until mid-july and Chris advised if that was the case, the city should save their money as the season would be half over. He could bring a proposal to the council in January for consideration in next year s budget. Brown stated he would rather wait until next year, as nothing has been budgeted for this expense. Miller made a motion to proceed with a contract with Triple C Pest Control for mosquito spraying this summer. There was no second. Mayor Schmidt declared the motion dead for lack of a second. Close-out of CDBG Downtown Façade Project Motion by Brown, seconded by Miller, authorized the close-out of the CDBG Downtown Façade Project and ordered release of the retainage. Roll call was: AYES: All. NAYES: None. Demolition Cost Reserve for 430 W. Cherry Motion by Miller, seconded by Brown, authorized the release of the City s interest in the reserve for demolition costs from an insurance settlement for the property at 430 W. Cherry St. destroyed by fire in February. Roll call was: AYES: All. NAYES: None. Adjournment On a motion by Pingel, seconded by Miller, the meeting was adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Media Present: None.
